Transcendent tandoori
For a mind-expanding chicken tikka kebab, head to Helena's in Kathmandu. It's an upscale modern diner with a peaceful rooftop space on Chaksibari Marg in Thamel. The tender, lightly blackened chicken breast is steeped in a flawlessly piquant tandoori paste and served atop the perfect piece of soft, pillowy naan with fresh vegetables and a side of mint chutney (555 NPR including tax and service).
